(Thank you, Clifford Berryman) Pearls Before Swine (AMS) makes an excellent point, though there’s more to it. If you go back half a century, the evening network news was half an hour, but so was the local news and there was another half hour before bedtime, for a total of 90 minutes. Drop back a […]
There are several major news stories going on, but they happened late in the week, so, since only a few American editorial cartoonists post on weekends, we’ll have to wait until Monday or perhaps even Tuesday for commentary on them. In the meantime, here’s a serious funny piece from First Dog on the Moon, and […]
Clay Bennett (CTFP) summarizes the GOP’s impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden, using the inquisitors’ own phrase that they intend to “connect the dots.” However, so far, as he notes, the only revelation that has come out of the hearings is that it’s a waste of time, which even their own lead witnesses have confirmed.

Mr. Boffo is a constant celebration of dumbasses, often, as in this case, accompanied by the side-glance of a woman who realizes what an idiot she married. Granted, whether this dork knows what the Magna Carta was, he clearly knows when it was signed. Which makes me wonder if he knows that, when the Constitution […]
Clyde gets down to reality in today’s Candorville (WPWG), and his list of dictators could also have included a heapin’ helpin’ of populist demagogues, who are mostly only barred from being actual dictators through chance and technicalities, not for lack of ambition. Lemont expects things to make sense, while Clyde sees what actually does. In […]
Jack Ohman (WPWG)’s phrasing differs slightly from Ron White’s classic bit, which is also a reflection on the current state of medical science. The nice thing about that video clip is that White, a veteran of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, cannot possibly be dismissed as a liberal. Which means even rock-ribbed rightwingers should listen […]
